Addie has been having a rough time. She left the father of her two daughters and is now living alone with them. She’s an author working with a deadline but she has a mountain of debt due to her baby’s illness. So when she meets Leo she is not willing or prepared to like him. But, Leo is so darn charming. Who can resist a man who loves kids and holds babies? Leo is a hockey player who works with Addie’s daughter Izzy on teaching them hockey. I loved how precocious Izzy was, she reminded me of my daughter. Izzy helps Leo get closer to Addie, since she regularly freezes him out. However, out of desperation she marries Leo so that she can have access to her trust fund. Leo is fully engaged any way he can get Addie is fine by him. I loved how he was patient and willing to give her room to trust him. This was a fast paced story that was engaging and enjoyable. I loved their romance and how great Leo was with her kids.
